November 19th marked Educational Support Professionals Day, and we proudly recognize the incredible work of our ESPs who play a vital role in making our school run smoothly each and every day. ESPs are the dedicated staff members who support students and teachers in countless ways. Our classroom and one-on-one aides who guide student learning, our office team who keeps everything organized and running, our lunch and recess staff who keep students safe, our custodians who take care of our building, and our bus drivers who ensure students arrive safely to and from school are all vital to the successful operation of our school. We are grateful for their hard work, caring support, and unwavering commitment to our students and school community. Please join us in thanking our ESPs for all they do to make Rush a welcoming place to learn and grow! 💙🍎

With the holiday season upon us, it is time to start thinking about giving to those that are less fortunate. Rush Student Council will once again be having a toy drive for Toys for Tots.

Toys for Tots is sponsored by the U.S Marine Corps Reserves. This program collects new, unwrapped toys and distributes these toys as holiday gifts to needy children in the community. The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new gift, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens. 

Please help the children this holiday season by donating new, unwrapped toys.

We thank you for your generosity and the children thank you!

Unnecessary absences from school can adversely affect children's academic progress, and also have a negative impact on their social and emotional growth. The following information is not intended as medical advice, but as guidelines to follow until you can contact your healthcare provider.

If any of these conditions do not improve or seem to be getting worse, or aren't responding to treatment, consult your healthcare provider.

A child with vomiting and/or diarrhea should be kept at home until symptoms have resolved for 24 hours and the child is able to keep down food and liquid.

Your child may attend school with a temperature less than 100.4 degrees. Your child must be fever-free, without fever reducing medication, for 24 hours before returning to school.

A child should be kept home if a headache is severe and does not respond to treatment, and is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever.

A child need not miss school due to an ear infection or a toothache if he/she is under medical treatment, has no other symptoms such as fever, and can complete school work despite the discomfort.

Keep your child home if cold and cough symptoms are associated with fever or swollen glands, or if they do not readily improve. Your child may attend school if there is no fever, he/she is not fatigued and is able to do school work, and if the symptoms are mild and your child can manage behaviors to prevent the spread of germs. If your doctor has prescribed antibiotics, your child must be on the antibiotics for at least 24 hours before returning to school.

Keep your child home from school if your child has a sizable rash over the body or face, and if the rash is oozing or due to a contagious condition.

Keep your child home if the white part of the eye appears red and produces a yellow or green crusty discharge. If your child has been diagnosed with pinkeye (conjunctivitis, a contagious infection of the outer layer of the eye), he/she may attend school after 24 hours of antibiotic eye medication. 

Encourage your children to wash their hands frequently to avoid spreading germs and disease. Please refer to the health protocol guidelines on the nurse's web page. You may contact Nurse Palma at (856) 829-7778 ext 5803 or palmak@cinnaminson.com if you have any questions.
